Flower Power

Why wear flowers in your hair when you can sport them on your nails? This bright red mani with pastel flowers is perfect for the hippie at heart.

This new take on the reverse French-mani lets you sport white chalky nails with just a touch of deep purple. Typing away on your phone has never looked so chic.

Sparkles Galore

Music's latest IT girl Cardi B is famous for her bejeweled talons. If you want your digits to look similar try these glitter + paillette adorned talons that will guarantee all eyes are on your fingers.

Metallic Lines

We love the contrast between the metallic nail paint and the matte nude coat. To try this look at home, all you require is a bit of scotch tape. Apply the scotch tape on the upper half of your nail and paint your nail with a peachy nude hue like 3INA Pink Nail Polish and let it dry. Remove the tape and apply a metallic purple like Faces Nail Paint in Purple Rain.

And We Were All Yellow

Yellow is like a little burst of sunshine and we love these semi-circular yellow lines that make for a great minimal design.
